Bandit Coffee Co.

{tasted like sharpie} Such a cute shop! I usually really like this place and the vibe but I got a takeout matcha latte today. Was not hot enough (even though I picked it up immediately after it was done). And the sharpie written on the lid actually primed my tastebuds with sharpie scent...so my matcha latte tasted like $7 sharpie 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Store front it so cute, the service was so nice and fast, and the chia is great. The avocado toast was really hyped up, but it truly lived up to the hype! Will definitely be back!

Relaxing enviornment, helpful staff and free WiFi!

I went In a few days ago after work and was surprised by the amount of people, while it was certainly busy it wasn't 'crowded.' Everyone had a spot to sit and it was quiet enough for me to do some remote work on my laptop!

I will definitely be coming back, their lattés and brews are delicious and locally sourced!

Very beautiful and modern cafe 🤌🏽

Phenomenal location. When I got there there was a line of people coming out of the place.

We ordered 3 drinks and a supremely delicious pastry! Listen! If you’re going to waste some calories in your day, you better get a pastry here because it is 12/10 A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

(Specifically the peach cream one…shhh 🤫)

Lauren helped us and she was incredible

Delicious cortado every time! I also love the advice they give when choosing their beans.

This has been one of my favorite spots in St. Pete. The food is wonderful and depending on the day there is variety in the dishes, especially my favorite, "The Avacado Toast". Whichever way it is made, whichever day, it is always good. There is a seasonal Bouquet Coffee that is addictive❣️
Beware, the parking lot is still full of picnic tables, from their Covid set up and parking is limited. The street spots are often full also. What ever you do, do not park anywhere but the designated parking spots, or a young woman with short hair, evidently a manager, will come out yelling and continue to berate you at the top of her lungs in the middle of the lot where people are eating and waiting for orders.. There are some spots that look perfectly fine and no signs saying not to park there. After speaking to three of the employees about this unfortunate experience, it was easy to see that "customer experience" truly isn't that important at Bandit and it doesn't matter if you are a regular or not. So go for the great food but not necessarily the environment or experience and watch your step with the employees, especially the ones yelling in the lot or her friends behind the counter. Disappointing, after so many visits. No desire to return now.

The coffee is pretty good and never disappoints. However I usually opt for a different coffee shop in the area because the vibe here is always a bit artificial and like the people who work there would rather not be there. Not holding it against them, but it just isn’t my type of vibe and I prefer the places that are more lively and welcoming.

With clean industrial lines, excellent coffee, and minimalist sensibilities, Bandit Coffee Co. is a fantastic place to grab a cup of joe. They feature a number of eclectic coffee blends and a variety of teas, kombucha, and sparkling sodas in addition to delectable fresh baked doughnuts. This place a great addition to Central Avenue.

All around amazing and well worth the wait!
